    Apple Watch Trade in Fiasco

    I recently traded in an Apple Watch. I was quoted $160. First attempt it was rejected for “unable to delete user data” and returned to me. Spoke with a manager who restarted the process for me and I tried again. Yet again “unable to delete user data” even though both times I unpaired the watch...

    WatchOS 7.3.2 Now Playing Problems

    I’ve been having problems with Now Playing showing up when I’m playing podcasts or music or Pandora since updating to 7.3.2. The icon doesn’t show at the top of my watch while playing something, and when I go into Now Playing on the watch, switching to the iPhone doesn’t appear available...

    Is it possible to use the eSIM only on the Apple Watch?

    Does someone know if it’s possible to use dual-SIM on my iPhone (11 pro) in such a way that the phone will use the primary SIM and the watch will use the second, eSIM, without the iPhone being connected to two networks all the time? Context: my cellular plan is given to me by my employer. They...

    Beware of trade in via mail

    This is kind of a rant so if that’s not your thing please do not read. I recently traded in a Series 4 for a Series 6. I wanted to do the trade in while in the store picking up the Series 6, but was told due to COVID they were not able to do that. Which in and of itself bothers me because they...

    High heart rate alarm?

    I already owned a FitBit Versa—in fact, FitBit notified me early last year that I was having irregular heartbeat, enrolled me in a study to help them develop an atrial fibrillation tracking capability, lent me a one-week heart monitor that led to my having heart surgery this past October. After...

    Apple Watch Series 6 Creaking/Clicking Display Cover.

    Hi everyone! A couple of days ago I purchased a Series 6 44mm Apple Watch in stainless steel. I noticed yesterday that upon adjusting my watch on my wrist it made a audible click and I felt it come from the display underneath my palm. I then wiggled the display from side to side with my fingers...

    Health, Good Practises, and Exercise

    I had a thread regarding dieting (I thought), but can't find it. I was a chunky kid, discovered exercise as a teen, became an avid runner, went 40 years without a weight issue due to regular exercise, but now in my 60s, I'm about 30 lbs overweight. I'm 5'10" @220 lbs. I can no longer run, but...

    Polish Apple Watch SS: Cape Cod vs Autosol

    I recently purchased a Series 2 stainless steel Apple Watch. I read lots online about remove scratches and gave Cape Cod a try. Using Cape Cod, it removed fine scratches and marks but nothing else. Autosol works on deeper scratches better, and it feels thicker, so it must be more coarse. So...

    S3 sports owner, downgraded to S2 Staineless steel and loving it!

    Well, I was always under the impression the latest updates are better, but Apple are proving me wrong. IOS14 has been a stinker so far (battery drain) and WatchOS7 wasn't that much of an upgrade from WatchOS6. I took the plunge and downgraded from an S3 LTE sports model to an S2 stainless steel...

    Cardio fitness notifications is an adult's Apple Watch feature.

    I tried setup Cardio fitness notifications on my iPhone XS Max and my Apple Watch Series 5. It says required 20 years old or older. Like my Birthday 2024 for ECG, I have to waiting for my Birthday 2022 to get Cardio fitness notifications.

    MagSafe - What to buy...

    So I received an Apple gift card about a month or 2 ago and bought a saddle brown leather case for my 12 Pro. I have about $30 left on my gift card and I’m curious what y’all think I should get: - MagSafe charger (cool but the 20W wired charger I have is faster and doesn’t leave an imprint) -...
